As Russians inch closer to Pokrovsk, civilians in the area are left with a choice — stay under fire or leave life behind
BILOZERSKE, Donetsk Oblast — Less than 30 kilometers north of embattled Pokrovsk, a market was in full swing in the town of Bilozerske.
Meters away, however, a crowd has gathered in front of a buildi...

Je reviens d'une semaine de travail en France, 1ère sortie d'Ukraine depuis un an. Certes, les nuits calmes font du bien, mais pour moi le manque de prise de conscience du danger de guerre en Occident par beaucoup est tout aussi violent que vivre sous les bombes russes. Bref, soulagée d'être à Kyiv.

It is again particularly blatant as Russia claims to have 'liberated' (= occupied) cities where fighting is still ongoing.
